Lemongrass Chicken

I like to wish all my Muslim friends here and back home Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri. During this time I will always remember the food that my muslim friends served during their open house. Like Lontong, Rendang, Serunding, Ketupat, Lemang and not to mentioned all the yummy cookies and cakes. So, I prepared this dish specially for Hari Raya even though I am not celebrate it but it kind of reminds me of home.

Ingredients :

Half Chicken (wash and cut into bite size pieces)2 tbsp of turmeric powdersalt and pepper to taste3 lemongrass - smash it with the back of your knife1/2 cut of coconut milk

Blended Ingredients :

2 tomatoes5 red chillies1 big onions4 cloves of garlic1" ginger

1) Marinate chicken with salt, pepper and turmeric powder for an hour.2) Blend the blended ingredients and set aside.3) Heat up some oil in the wok and brown the chicken on both side. It don't have to be cook. Dish out and set aside. Remove the oil and leave about 2 tablespoon in the wok.4) Saute the blended ingredients until fragrant.5) Add in the chicken and lemongrass and stir fry for a few minutes.6) Add in the coconut milk and simmer until the dish is dry and chicken is cook.7) Check seasoning and dish out.8) Serve with warm rice.

Gert, I tried out this recipe and it was a hit. Its an easy recipe to follow. I've too many tomatoes from the garden and what a nice way to use it up. I've never eaten this dish before and will definitely make it again. Thanks.
